Young People's Perceptions of the Mathematics Involved in Everyday Activities.
Edwards, Amanda; Ruthven, Kenneth
Educational Research, v45 n3 p249-60 Win 2003
English secondary students were shown pictures of everyday activities and interviewed about whether math was involved. They were aware of daily math and did not have difficulties identifying math in practical or traditionally female activities. However, they restricted math to activities involving single-solution problems and formal rather than experiential/intuitive approaches. (Contains 18 references.) (SK)
